Chapter 141 If you can't snatch the Marquis, you'll try to snatch him from me, won't
Zhao Rufang speaks bluntly and never seems to know what she should or shouldn't say. And sure enough, this stab struck Wang Xianrong right where it hurt.
Wang Xianrong's face, which had been somewhat stiff, turned from dark to red, and even her breathing became heavier.
Her pale, slender fingers clenched tightly in her palms, and her gaze toward Zhao Rufang was somewhat cold and sharp.
Zhao Rufang was startled when she met the sudden gaze directed at her, and almost fell off the stone bench. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and grabbed the edge of the stone table to steady herself.
Realizing she had almost embarrassed herself in front of her prospective boyfriend, Zhao Rufang flew into a rage: "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you out of your mind?!"
"What did you say?" Wang Xianrong frowned. "You dare to insult me?"
"What's wrong with me scolding you?" Zhao Rufang said angrily. "Knowing that today is my turn to choose a husband, what are you doing here? What, you can't get the Marquis, so you come to compete with me?"
What does it mean to say that if you can't snatch the Marquis, you'll snatch him from her?
Who to rob?
Is this He Lan Dian?
Wang Xianrong's anger surged to the top of her head. She glanced at He Lan Dian and sneered, "A person like him is someone you only treat like a treasure. I wouldn't even give him a second glance in the past."
She was so aloof and proud that very few people could catch her eye.
Back when she was still unmarried, countless people in the Qin capital were vying for her attention, including princes, grandsons of emperors, and young masters from noble families.
Even a man like He Lan Dian, who was neither handsome nor talented, didn't dare to look at her.
It's not even as bad as a speck of dust on the hem of her skirt.
Zhao Rufang had already come to regard Helan Dian as her future husband, and hearing Wang Xianrong's condescending and disdainful remarks, she was immediately furious.
“You treat the Marquis like a treasure, but I’ve never seen him give you a second glance. In his heart, you’re not even worth the roadside weeds.”
"What did you say?"
"I knew it! I told you you're not even worth as much as the roadside weeds in the Marquis's eyes!"
"You...you dare to be so insolent!"

Biluo Garden.
Qin Yi was having tea and talking with Madam He when she started talking about what had happened to the Min family.
Madam Min was the matchmaker for this marriage. She was originally supposed to come with the He family today, but she simply couldn't get away.
Min Siyue, the eldest daughter of Madam Min, married into the Changyang Marquis's mansion and became the wife of the heir. Now, only three years after her marriage, she discovered that her husband was keeping a mistress outside the marriage and had two children with her. The older one is already three years old this year, and the younger one is still in her womb.
Therefore, the Min family all went to the Marquis of Changyang's residence today to seek justice for their daughter.
Qin Yizhen frowned deeply upon hearing this, also feeling that the Changyang Marquis's family was acting unethically: "If you really like them, you can just take them back. Why keep them outside and even have an eldest son? It's truly absurd."
In aristocratic families, it was common for men to take concubines.
A woman can disregard her husband taking concubines, but the husband must ensure that the woman has the status and power she deserves. Concubines are only allowed to have children after the birth of the eldest son.
The heir of the Marquis of Changyang has kept a mistress and even had his eldest son outside of marriage. This is simply trampling on his wife's dignity.
“That’s right!” Madam He also spoke up for Min Siyue. “The Min family’s daughter isn’t brainless. If he had mentioned it, she wouldn’t have refused to let him in. Once he’s inside, he’ll behave himself and stay in line. The Min family’s daughter isn’t intolerant of people.”
"But this man appears to be deeply in love and devoted to the Min family girl, yet he's actually like this in private!"
Are all men in this world like this?
When the heir of the Marquis of Changyang proposed to the Min family's daughter, he was so sincere and earnest, repeatedly promising to treat her well. Who knew he was already keeping a mistress outside, who knows if she was already pregnant.
If you calculate the time, when Miss Min married into the family, her mistress was already pregnant.
It makes me sick just thinking about it.
Qin Yizhen also felt a little nauseous.
"How will the Min family handle this matter?"
"What else can we do? The Min family wants Miss Min to divorce and return home," Madam He sighed.
"Although divorce is somewhat shameful, and people will point fingers and gossip, and you may not be able to find a better marriage than the Marquis of Changyang in the future, if you stay, you will be irritated for the rest of your life. The Min family cannot swallow this insult."
"Does Miss Min have any children?"
"That's not there."
Qin Yizhen breathed a sigh of relief: "It's best if there isn't one. If there were a child, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to bear losing the child and would have to swallow my pride and compromise."
“That’s right!” Madam He agreed.
A woman carries a child for ten months and raises the child herself, so their bond is naturally deep. Many women also endure hardship and compromise for the sake of their children. Min Siyue didn't have a child at this time, so it would be easier for her to extricate herself.
It was a stroke of good fortune amidst misfortune.
Qin Yizhen said, "If you run into Madam Min when you get back, tell her that if the Marquis of Changyang makes things difficult for her young lady, she should come and talk to me. I will stand up for her, and I don't think the Marquis of Changyang would dare to bully her young lady."
Upon hearing this, Madam He immediately said, "Then I thank the princess on behalf of Madam Min. Once I return, I will go to the Min family immediately."
"Very good."
As the two were talking, a maid rushed over, anxiously saying, "Princess, something terrible has happened in the garden!"
"What happened?" Qin Yizhen raised an eyebrow.
Isn't Zhao Rufang and He Landian looking at each other in the garden?
How could something bad happen from looking at someone's face?
Could it be that they started fighting over a mere disagreement?!
Upon hearing this, Madam He also became anxious: "Yes, what happened? Did the two of them have a fight?"
The maid replied, "It's Aunt Wang who fainted from anger."
"Aunt Wang?" Qin Yizhen frowned. "What do you mean?"
The maid said, "Originally, Miss Zhao and Young Master He were having a pleasant conversation in the pavilion, but then Aunt Wang suddenly arrived and started arguing with Miss Zhao in just a few words. As a result, she fainted from anger."
Qin Yizhen: "......"
Qin Yizhen had a headache. She didn't know how Wang Xianrong had appeared in the garden, how she had argued with Zhao Rufang, or how she had even fainted from anger.
"First, help Aunt Wang back to her courtyard, then ask Mr. Hu to come and take a look. Also, invite Miss Zhao and Young Master He over."
"Yes."
The maid obeyed and soon brought Zhao Rufang and Young Master He over.
It seems that Wang Xianrong's sudden fainting had frightened Zhao Rufang quite a bit, and she was still somewhat uneasy, her face pale.
Upon seeing Qin Yizhen, she immediately complained, "Princess, it wasn't that I wanted to argue with her. I was having a nice chat with Young Master He when she suddenly came over. She looked down on both me and Young Master He, so I couldn't help but argue with her for a bit."
"Who knew she would be so weak? She fainted from anger after only saying a few words."
"This is not my fault!"
